The pi example gave me a clue.

sin exponent
-61

-64

What, I lost three bits?
Hmm fairly sure about my 256bits approximation of pi though...

Yes, there might be a problem for reading these extended precision.

Among others, there was a bug printing numbers very close to 1, like
/(1.0d - (1.0d timesTwoPower: -52))/ or the equivalent FloatQ.

I fixed this by performing the floorLog after converting to a fraction,
but there are still bugs reading.
